Some time ago, Commissioner Sparks made ruling to the effect that married women could not make a desert land entry. He attempted to support this position by an argument, the substance of which was that the provision of the flaw which forbade man to make more than one desert entry would be nullifed by allowing his wife to make one also. MT. Sparks overlooked the strong and rapid tendency of recent years to abolish the common law relations of husband and wife, which has already gone so far, in all or nearly all of the States of the Union,a as to entirely separate the wife from her husband in her right to hold and control an estate. Secretary Lamar has overruled Sparks decision, and the making of desert entries by married women, that has been for some time suspended, may now be resumed.

SAD AccIDENr-rwo MEN BLOWN UP

SAD AcCIDENT-TWo MEN BLOWN UP.
 One of the most melancholy affairs it has ever been the EPITAPH's sad duty to chronicle, occurred on Wednesday morning last on Dusenbury Avenue, ad- joining the hoisting works of the Cow. boy Chief mine. It is we'll known fact that the boilers had been freque ntly con- demned, and hence the action of two of our most respected citizens, John John son and Jimmy Jimmerson, in passing bythese works, while on their way home from the Lodge at o'clock in the morn ing, can be characterized as little other than foolhardy. But there had been exciting work in the seventeenth degree. and the nerves of the unfortunate vic tims were strained to the utmost tension, rendering them incapable of realizing their danger. Their residences were adjoining, but a few steps from the noisting works. Poor men! They had been standing for several minutes upon their doorsteps vainly endeavoring to unlatch their doors with match or tooth. pick, when low rumbling sound, such as precedes an earthquake, was heard Then came crash and jar. And if ever two men were successfully blown up, it was them. Their wives had been waiting for them for two hours or more. Oh. how the men do suffer on the frontiert
Tombstone epitaph., 1887-10-01

The EPITAPH does not belong to that narrow-minded class which delights in the misfortune or downfall of business rival, and for this reason the Prospector has our sincerest sympathy in this its hour of tribulation. We have sub. stanlially shown our friendship by loan ing the publishers paper and ink at various times (which, by the way, has never been returned.) This is nothing, and we freely forgive them the amount. And yet we cannot too severely condemn their course in running hopelessly in debt to their printers, whom, we are re- liably informed, they owe from $35 to $40 each. The money is due them; they have made repeated demands for it, and they should have it. It is doc Urine as old as the hills, that "the laborer is worthy of his hire," and business that cannot pay its workmen should shut
 down. There isn't the least particle of malice or unkindly feeling in these re- marks, for as far as the Prospector is concerned, it occupies field which does not in the least interfere with the
 EPITAPH. In fact, it is to our interest that it should continue to occupy that
 field. But we do hope, for the sake of the printers, who have a hard enough time of it anyway, that they will be able
